And I mean totally wipe from existance, never to be seen again. What has ruined the world as you know it and what would you happy to see the back of? soapbox I'm going to kick off with TV, sure it would be nice to live in a world without nuclear weapons but for me TV has a lot to answer for. Now, I'm not some tree hugging mentalist, and I do own a TV, but I think the decline of society, childhood obesity, apathy, crime and debt problems stem largely from the Americanised consumerist drivel that people are subjected to day after day, and have been for the past 50 years.

uninventing nuclear weapons would mean no nuclear power plants.... if something creates power some bright spark develops a weapon with it.

We get a lot of them overhead, hovering or circling, where I live. As annoying noises go, they are beaten only by leaf-blowers and Harley Davidsons with stupid 'sports' pipes.

Ranged weapons (powered)

It was much better when the only way to kill another chap was to get them inside of an arms + weapon length, or a decent throw.
